The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 26 Aug 2021Unmindful of Supreme Court cautioning just days ago that arresting a person merely because it is lawful doesn’t justify the arrest, Maharashtra police, almost certainly egged on by the state government, lodged multiple FIRs and arrested Union MSME minister Narayan Rane for remarks against CM Uddhav Thackeray. Rane’s reported statement was in terribly poor taste but, sadly, quite in line with contemporary political polarisation and general crassness of discourse favoured by politicians across parties. But each barb is likely to be met by nastier ones, and sometimes violence on streets, as seen since Rane’s remarks. It’s time parties recognise the futility of unparliamentary discourse – voters don’t get impressed by it.
